Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Tiger Woods
Jim started, "...Looks like Tiger Woods is finally ready to come out of hiding and rescue the sport that made him rich and famous and deviant and entitled. The New York Post is reporting that he has hired former George W. Bush aide Ari Fleischer to help him formulate his re-entry strategy and that he may be targeting the Arnold Palmer Invitational, March 25th, for his return..."
Jim offered to save Tiger time and money, saying, "...You want a strategy. Here it is: Show up, get in front of the media. Actually answer some questions this time. Own it. Swing your bats. Win. Go home. Stay home. Don't cheat on your wife. Don't think that you're above the law...Don't be arrogant, and treat people a little bit better this time. Oh, and win. You'll be fine. There's your strategy...That one's free..."
NFL
The Cincinnati Bengals signed receiver Antonio Bryant. Jim said this was good for the Bengals, but would rather have seen them sign Terrell Owens for the spectacle of T.O. playing with Chad Ochocinco.
LaDanian Tomlinson met with the Vikings. He sounds like he is willing to take a back up role. Rome said: "...I love that call! That's a very good call."
Interview
Brad Stevens (Butler Basketball Coach)
They are on a 20 game win streak. Brad said it was not as easy as it looks on paper. He said he remembers the last loss more than the 20 wins. "That's how coaches are wired," he said. He also told Jim that it doesn't matter where they are seeded in the NCAA Tournament to him since it is very difficult to get in as a non-BCS Conference school.
E mail
Eric in Falls Church wrote in and Rome played the accompanying "Loser" song. Eric intimated it was Stu in Manhattan that sent in the Star Wars/XR4ti artwork since "he probably has zero social life and is a complete dork based on his love of Star Wars."
Jim said Eric was trying to hook Stu into a fight and probably wouldn't succeed.
Interview
Bo Ryan (Wisconsin Basketball Coach)
Bo said he is not a fan of the conference tournaments. He would rather play a true Round Robin within the conference during the season. Regardless, he says you need depth and a hot player going into conference tournament.
Also, Bo agreed that Ohio State's Evan Turner is the Player of the Year.
Matt Barnes on Twitter
He tweeted, "Morning y'all. Up early with the babies watching Dora. Seems Lamar (Odom) can't keep my name out his mouth. Maybe I need to put my son's #%&$* diaper in it."
Jim asked which came first...Matt's tweet or Vinny Mac's call from yesterday where he told Eddie in Boise to take his diaper off and put it over his mouth. Jim checked the time...Matt Barnes tweeted at 5:02am! Matt was first!
An E mailer wrote that Vinny Mac "reversed engineered" Matt Barnes tweet. This referenced Vic in NoCal's video earlier in the week that said Brad in Corona reversed engineered Vic's smack.
Interview
Kevin Stallings (Vanderbilt)
Kevin thinks conference tournaments are something you have to embrace since they are "here to stay". That being said, Kevin felt they tend to hurt you more than help you when it comes to NCAA tournament seedings.
